I've been mulling over whether or not to do Thanksgiving dinner this year. Maybe I should check with the bank to see if I could take out a loan to finance the groceries. I mean, really! Prices are getting ridiculous...

What Happened with the Persian Market?
My recent Battle was a showdown between two jazzed up versions of Ketelby's "In a Persian Market". The contestants were American jazzman Wilbur de Paris and British popster Acker Bilk with a couple of Dixieland flavored interpretations of the light classical piece.
I'm very partial to the classical tinged piece as it was the one I used to hear during the levitation act of the Ken Griffin Magic show which I worked on for a few years. I enjoy hearing the jazzy versions and after repeated hearings I can go either way depending on my mood. Why not Acker Bilk? He really needs the vote more anyway.
Pretty low turn out for this Battle>>>
Final Vote Count
Wilbur de Paris 6 votes
Acker Bilk 4 votes
Next Battle on December 1st
That's the plan and I plan to stick to that plan. Better than sticking to a pan I guess.
It's getting to the holiday season, so a lot of people are busy doing other things I guess.
ReplyDeleteHunh. I guess that is pretty close. Numbers down for all of us this time around. And, pooh. I was rooting for Acker.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your Battle in this round, and that final score illustrates why I found it so tough to decide which way my vote should lean in this contest. Mine was like a 51%-49% preference for Wilbur.
I hope the voting #s increase for the rest of this year. At least you managed to hit double digits, which is more than I can say for my own BOTB Results.
